? Predictably, when one arranges something that requires good weather, it rains, and tomorrow’s MBBD is obviously no exception! There is an 80% chance of all day rain tomorrow, so we are postponing the event until Sunday – however, Sunday doesn’t look all that good either, so we will look at the forecasts again tomorrow and confirm in the… Continue reading Of MBBD and Rain…

Kick off will be at 6:30 am (or whenever you choose) and we will meet at Fernkloof at 6:30 pm for… Continue reading MBBD Final Notice!!

? Our monthly walk was at Vrolijkheid Reserve near to McGregor, yesterday morning. As we drove from Hermanus, we were worried about the weather as there was a gale blowing when we approached Villiersdorp, but by the time we arrived at Vrolijkheid, we had a perfect warm clear day. We were all thrilled by the variety of Karoo birds,… Continue reading Vrolijkheid Reserve
